Poster depicts a number of battle fatigued paratroopers - one holding his helmet in his hands - looking in awe at the Kotel - the Western Wall, after liberating it during the Six Day War in June, 1967. In 1967, the Old City of Jerusalem was recaptured from the Jordanian Legion during the Six Day War. No Jews had been allowed into the city to pray at the Kotel since 1948, when the Israelis lost the Old City in battle. These paratroopers were one of the first groups to reach the Western Wall after liberation. An integral picture of Israeli history. Can be framed easily, and is a must for any Jewish home or Judaica collection. Dimensions: 19-2/3'' x 27-1/2'' (50 cm x 70 cm.)
